And you fail anyways, because Bungie doesn't set the price. Microsoft does. Go Complain to them.

Also, may I point out, it takes 3 years for Bungie to make a Next-Gen Game.
Halo 2 to Halo 3: 3 Years (Fall 04 to Fall 07)
Halo 3 to Halo: Reach: 3 Years (Fall 07 to Fall 2010)

Two makes there more than speakers.

It has two disks, Firefight, an open world campaign, and three new maps.... I don't see why it wouldn't be sixty dollars

halo is one of the leading franchises out there

if other devs see halo can cut cut counters and be successful they will follow suit

and dont start with the flaming

youre not very good at it
Lot's of games have been over priced, it's not the end of the world. Quit blowing this way out of proportion and get back on topic.


lawl you cant tell the TC to get on topic

i decide whats on topic and whats not

Wrong. You can still be banned for going off topic in your own thread. So, stay on topic or risk banadu,

Well first off I would just like to say that bungie has clealry stated that they did not want his to be priced at 60 bucks...with that said you have to look at this way...bungie hands this game to microsoft they say hey we have campaign, firefight, a theater, forge, and multiplayer over xbox live which includes 3 map packs previously released that many people paid for. no its not new multiplayer but to someone that does not own halo 3 odst is a full fledged game it has everything halo 3 has just swap that campaign for this one so it is very justifiable at 60 dollars. Honestly if you are on still actively using these forums then you are most likely a halo/bungie follower and fan and for all intents and purposes plan on and are intending to buy odst regardless so please stop whining.

Get over it. Microsoft price the games, and Bungie makes games for profit, not for fun.

This game is ESPECIALLY good for those people without live and/or who didn't DL the maps or recently bought the game, as it gives them the COMPLETE MM experience, including all maps, for less then it's worth.

Let's look at it:

4x priced DLC packs, each starting at 800msp (when many people downloaded it) = $40. This has now dropped to about $27 with the release of MMP2 on the horizon for 800, Legendary for 650, and MMP1 for 800.

Original H3 = $60. What did you get? 11 maps and a relative short, frankly slightly underwhelming campaign. You basically paid $40 for the original MM (including forge & theater), which is what most people play more, and $20 for the campaign, which you'd play a few times for achievements then forget about. Add to this the price of DLC, and you have anywhere between $87 and $100 - for the NORMAL edition, if all DLC was bought. Legendary was $ 150, for what? a helmet, bigger box and another CD? With this, you'd spend nearly $200 on the game + DLC.

ODST: 24 maps, AKA the entire h3 MM experience, usually costing approximately $67-180 depending of H3 version (minus my valuation of campaign), for $60, PLUS a new game mode, 1750 points worth of achievements, a New 5-6 hour campaign with open-world elements, and if you spend $100 a controller (for a cheaper price then normal, too). Essentially, for the Price of the NORMAL edition of Halo 3, you get over $100 worth of stuff.

ODST is a much better deal then H3 was overall.

Yes i am sick to death of hearing what you and other like you are saying.

The Campaign is just an Expansion, but what your also getting that will make up for the extra cost of the game is:
An extra multiplayer mode called firefight
Halo 3's Excellent Multiplayer,
All the original maps and Heroic, Legendary, Cold Storage and Mythic Part 1 and 2, so the map packs have a value of around $40

You will definitely be getting your moneys worth, so quit moaning because at the end of the day you don't have to buy it.

Posted by: REACHis FPS ohya
is anyone else sick of hearing this

ODST looks bad....oh its just an expansion

ODST has the exact same graphics as halo 3...oh its just an expansion

ODST is milking the franchise......oh its just an expansion


drop the "it's just an expansion". It's priced the full 60$, calling it an expansion is just to excuse its lack of innovation and improvements.

either drop the price and call it an expansion(its great for an expansion) or improve it bcuz right now its pretty sad for a full game


Edit: Guess i wasn't the first to point this out.

Ooooh, ok. But I can already see the countless HALO 3 game variants...

"YOUR DESTRUCTION IS THE WILL OF THE GODS, AND WE ARE THEIR INSTRUMENT."

He calls us blind. I say he's wrong.
He says it isn't worth it. I say he's wrong.
He's gonna buy it anyways. Now, he's saying he's wrong.
It's a game. A full game. It has campaign, and Co-Op, AND Firefight. Saying it should cost 40 dollars is saying games like Assassin's Creed, or Dead Space should cost 30 dollars.
If you're buying it, don't complain. If you don't like it, don't buy it. If you don't like it and you buy it? You're a hypocrite. But then again, we all are these days.

No signature found. DO NOT Click here to change this.

The reason why they say that is because it doesn't have multiplayer.Microsoft (not Bungie) Decided it will be $60 because it comes with a second disc with the 24 Halo 3 maps, An invitation to the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta, Firefight, A full Campaign, and Citadel Heretic, and Longshore.

too bad i already have that

theyre effectively screwing over the people that bought the map packs
You don't have it. These maps are for ODST. Do you just glance at stuff? Try reading.

that costs as much as the full game


That has 3 new maps that would cost $20, A new 10 hour campaign and a new co-op mode and i don't know where you watched it but the graphics on this expansion look better than H3s and a beta into a new game, and H3s multiplayer on it so you won't need your H3 disc if you want to play multiplayer. You're getting a good deal shut the -blam!- up and enjoy it. And either way you know you'll still buy it.
